Gas prices continue to fall

For the tenth consecutive week the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Texas has moved lower, and pump prices in San Antonio have fallen too.

The statewide average price for gas is $3.23, down 3 cents in a week, according to AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.

In San Antonio, the average price for regular unleaded is $3.21 a gallon, down 2 cents in a week.

“With the busy summer driving season officially behind us and children back in school, demand for fuel is less than what we’ve seen in recent months,” AAA Texas-New Mexico spokesman Doug Shupe said in a statement. “Barring any major storms, geopolitical concerns, or refinery disruptions, we could see pump prices move even lower as refineries transition to producing less expensive winter-blend fuel in a few weeks.”

Despite conflicts in Ukraine and Iraq, global oil prices have declined and global supplies have been unaffected, AAA said
